Patients with prostate cancer. The study will include two patient cohorts, which at inclusion has a similar risk for progression of the disease at 5 years, and risk of later prostate cancer death. The first patient group are patients with PSA relapse after curative treatment, and the 2nd one are patients with locally advanced disease.

| Main Objective: To evaluate and compare progression free survival (PFS) between the two treatment arms.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate and compare •Metastasis free survival •Cancer specific survival •Overall survival •Quality of Life (QoL) •PSA doubling time after progression;Primary end point(s): To evaluate and compare progression free survival (PFS) between the two treatment arms. PFS is defined as PSA or Radiographic progression or death due to any course in the absence of previous documentation of disease progression, whichever occurs first. | — |
